Re: Minutes from the Nov 1, 2012 Lake Ontario Contessa Association Meeting

"Another question we pondered but did not answer conclusively was whether or not to include Contessa 32 owners. Everyone’s thoughts are greatly appreciated."  Why not?  So many of us have also owned Contessa 26s.  Having to part with Dreamspeaker was my only regret in buying Eight Sails.  Dreamspeaker's new owner is now crewing for me on race nights, along with the owner of Puffin, a beautiful folkboat.

I believe our answer was that we were calling the association "Lake Ontario Contessa Association" specifically so that Contessa 32 owners would also feel welcome.

There was some talk about extending the club to also include folk boats.  If I'm not mistaken, we all agreed that they would be welcome but we would stick to focusing on Contessa's in the Lake Ontario region.  Everyone is welcome, Contessa's from any geography, 26's, 32's and folkboats.  For the sake of keeping events organized, it will be locally focused in Lake Ontario.
